Ingredients

  • 12 oz vegan chorizo (removed from the casings and crumbled)
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sage (finely chopped)
  • 12 spears asparagus (trimmed and chopped into ½-inch bits. Leeks will work very well here too.)
  • ½ cup raw cashews
  • 14 oz extra firm tofu
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a cast-iron or other skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the garlic and onions and season with salt and pepper. Saute until the onions turn soft.
  • Add the asparagus and sage or mint, saute for 2-3 minutes, then add the chorizo and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for another five minutes. Turn off heat.
  • Place the cashews, tofu, garlic powder, salt and ground black pepper to taste in a blender along with ½ cup water. Blend until very smooth.
  • Pour the tofu into the chorizo mixture and mix well. You can simply bake the quiche in the cast iron skillet (or any oven-safe skillet) at this point, or pour it into a pie or tart plate.
  • Bake for 40 minutes. Let it stand 10 minutes, then serve.
